Yamaha 703 Remote Control Assembly

[Jersey Jeff]

I needed to replace the tilt switch in my Yamaha 703 remote control. from what little I could find about it I hade to take the entire controller apart to get to the switch. Long story short I pulled the control apart replaced the switch, put every thing back together, stepped back and admired my skills and took her out for a test ride. Everything seemed fine until I went to speed up. I pushed the throttle all the way down only to get to about 3000 rpm nothing more. Seems like something's not catching the linkage correctly. I took it apart/ put back together a dozen more times over the two hours trying to line up the "gears" in different configurations to no avail.

Anyone ever have a similar problem? The engine speeds up fine with the neutral throttle lever so I know its not the engine.

Thanks in advance

Hi Jeff, if you haven't fixed this yet,, when you take off the smaller back plate that covers just the cables, and look, is the small black hard plastic spacer that separates the two cables, in place? are the cables secure in the housing? if you get it open again a picture would help.
